RW: Marco Asensio

Carlo Ancelotti will have quite a few stars to choose from for the right-wing position. Marco Asensio, Rodrygo Goes, and Gareth Bale are all potent threats in the attacking third, but Ancelotti might favor the Spaniard tonight.

Although Asensio has not been a regular starter for Real, his versatility has been a blessing for the club at times. The 26-year-old can be effective in any position in the frontline, making him a terrific utility player.

Asensio was particularly impressive in Real Madrid's clash against Granada earlier this month, scoring the only goal of the game. His form and confidence are both on the rise and he should be chosen against PSG.


LW: Vinicius Jr.

Vinicius Jr. had a slow start to life at Madrid, but he has truly shown what he is capable of this season. The 21-year-old has 15 goals and 10 assists across all competitions. Vinicius is also amongst the most valuable players in the world, valued at €100 million by transfermarkt.

Vinicius has put in spectacular performances across all competitions and will definitely be a starter in the game against PSG. The Brazilian has perfectly complimented Karim Benzema this season and led Madrid’s attack in style.

Real Madrid’s lead of four points in La Liga would probably not exist without the contributions of Vinicius. He has played every minute in the Champions League so far and will be one to watch out for in the game against PSG. Fans will be treated by the best of Brazil, especially if Neymar also starts tonight.


ST: Karim Benzema

Karim Benzema gave Real Madrid fans quite the scare when he left the pitch clutching his hamstring in the game against Elche in January. Benzema has made positive progress following his injury and should be able to start against PSG.

The Frenchman has been in top form in La Liga, scoring goals at a stunning rate. He has scored 17 goals, which is the best in the league and has also provided seven assists. Benzema has five goals in five group stage matches and will be hungry for more.

The 34-year-old has arguably been Madrid’s best player this season and it is vital for him to start against PSG provided he is fit. Benzema has won the Champions League four times, and knows how difficult it is to lift the prestigious trophy. He will look to continue his fine goalscoring form against PSG tonight.
